Church Fairs.

The Carnival Of the Months which will be
given by the ladies Of High street church at
Y. NJ. C. A. Hall this afternoon and evening
should especially attract patrons. The Jap
anese pudding will be a novel feature of the
entertainment. The booths for the sale OF
useful articles presided over by fascinating
young ladies in costumes will prove great
drawing card. We wish the society every
success.
The Second Parish tair and festival to be
held at the church vestry today and tomor-
row will commend itself to our readers. The
hot turkey dinner today and thu choice sup
pers each evening will pull in all the busl-
ness men who know a good thing when they
see it.
Tomorrow afternoon and evening there
will be large patronage of the West Con-
gregational church fair at Y. NJ G. A. Hall.
A splendid supper will be served from to
8p.m
Tomorrow afternoon and evening St.
Luke's Church Guild will hold fair at Re-
ception Hall. There will be an excellent sup
per served from to p. M, followed by
music and recitations.
The First Parish Bazaar next week will
hold the attention of the public. 1t will be
a most attractive fair.

ST. LUKE's CATHEDRAL.
The Eve of St. Andrews Day.

Tuesday being the day appointed by the
churches of the Anglican Communion as the
day of special intercession for missions was
observed by the Episcopal churches in this
city in special service in ST. Luke's
Cathedral yesterday evening.
After evening prayer which was choral a
number of special prayers were said for the
different branches of missionary work in the
diocese, in the domestic field and the foreign
lands.
The Rev. Mr.. Little, rector of St. Paul's
made an address in which he advocated the
cause of missions, dealing especially with
individual duties and responsibilities.
At the conclusion of this address the
Bishop read the following facts connected
with the missions of the Protestant Episcopal
church:
The whole number of workers in the
domestic field is four hundred and twenty
one, viz: fsa
eleven missionary bishops in the domestic
field who receive their entire salaries and
travelling expenses from the board.
U.-Missionaries. The present ordained
missionaries, other than missionary bishops,

and 30 in work among the Indians; 8 of the
latter being native Chippewas, 3 Lative

Kiowa, and a native Arapahoe. The fore
going missionaries minister at about 1000
different places; besides those only visited
by the missionary bishops once year.
IIl.-Catechists and teachers. IS native

Der of missionary stations, appoint the mis-
sionaries, and assign to them their stipends.

LongfelIow Circle.

The Longfellow Circle passed Monday eve
ming very pleasantly with Miss Blanchard at
her home ON State street. The large number
present despite the rain), bore witness to
the interest felt in the man to whose memo
ry the evening was devoted. 1t was Gar
I'D night, and the first observed by any G.
l.. S. G. in the city. The study of such a
character as James A. Garfeld's is encourag-
ing and elevating. 1t is to be hoped that in
the near future a Garfield night may be the
rule, and not the exception, among Chautau-
quans of our country. The following pro-
gramme was successfully carried out:
Piano Solo. Mrs. A. NJ. Smith

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
LoTTA,


1t seems absurd to call attention to the
fact that Lolita will appear at Portland The
atre next Saturday night in her new play,
"Pawn Ticket No. 210," because when Lolita
appers everybody knows it and everybody
goes to see her. The sale of tickets will be-
gin at the box Office Thursday, and by night
whoever has neglected securing seats will
find themselves left The house will be
crowded.
FISK JUBILEE SINGERS.
In 1870 the Fisk JubileeSingers made their
first appearance in Portland and captured
the town. They will appear at City Hall
next Saturday night and tickets should be
secured at Stockbridge's at once. The pro-
gramme will include all those delightful
plantation melodies that cannot be surpassed
for time, melody and pathos.
THE IDEALS.
The engagement of the Boston Ideals end
ed at ST. Paul Saturday night in row. Miss
DeLussan sang only twice during the week,
and it is said she was indignant over the
manner in which she was received the first
night and refused to appear, although it was
given out that she was i'll. w. S. Foster,
the manager, has been very angry over the
criticisms of the local papers, and during the
performance got into row with one of the
critics, and also with the manager of the OPP
era house over the weeks business, and left
town In rage, declaring that he would nev-
er set foot in the place again.
MY AUNT BRIDGET.
1t does seem too bad that so many actors
and actresses, who have considerable must
cal and terpi chorean ability,should be hand
icapped by the trash known as farcical COM
edies. c. o. ID. was one of those stupidities
and "My Aunt Bridget" is another All the
good business in any of these absurdities
could be condensed into one act instead Of
strung out through three as it is the custom.
In "My Aunt Bridget" Mr.. George W. Mum
roe makes an amusing Irishwoman, as he
did when he formerly played with George
Knight, while John c. Rice shows the light
ness of his feet as Alton McVeigh. There
are several fairly good people in the piece,
but, Judging by the small audience last eve
ming, the public is about sick of these atten-
uated musical farces. The play will be re-
peated tonight.
PARK GARDEN.
There is evidently feeling ON the part Of
the public that Manager Knowlton is deter
mined to give them a good entertainment for
their money, and therefore good audiences
are the rule at his popular house. The bill
this week is very attractive.

What Am \ to DO?

The symptoms Of Bilousness are unhappily but
too well known. They differ in different indiyid-
uals to some extent. A Bilious man is seldom
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas, he has an
excellent appetite for liquids but for solids of
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection
at any tme If it is not white and furred, it is
The digestive system is wholly out of order and
Diarrhea or Constipation may be symptom or
the two may alternate. There are often Hemor-
rhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddi-
ness and often headache and acidty or fiatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the stomach. To cor
rect all this if not effect cure try GREEN'S august

These figures are more instructive than as
surfing to Democrats. OF course, we won !;
and of course, nothing succeeds like success
We have rejoiced over the victory, and now
hold all the prestige it gives us for the presi-
Dental contest less than year hence But
it is ostrich-like wit to blind ourselves to the
fact that while the Democratic ticket carried
the day by a plurality of 10, 1853, there is a
majority of 104,316 against it on the aggre-
gate POLL That is, there were 46S, 800 votes
pOlled for the Democratic ticket, and 572,-
906 votes polled for the other tickets
In addition to the uncertain and shifting
elements of the poll as thus exhibited, there
is the stay-at-home vote to be taken into
consideration. The largest vote ever pc lied
in the State was that on presidential ticket
in 1884, when the aggregate was 1851 1863 or
125,S73 larger than that just cast. The in
crease of the presidential vote of the State
in 1884 over that of 1880 was 63.2l4. Assum-
ing a relative increase from 1884 to 1888, it is
safe to put the aggregate next year at 1877 go,
over and above the regular Democratic and
Republican votes this year, to be placed by
coming contingencies next year. Those,
therefore, who reason by the plurality by
which the Democratic ticket has just been
carried through, that that plurality ensures
the electoral vote of the State to anybody
who may receive the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency next year are as the
blind leading the blind. Analysis, weight
and measure, not superficial glances, are re-
quired to determine what is the part of wis
dom in the future.

The samaritans.

The dance given by the Samaritan Asso-

attended, and. as is customary, when this
well known association announces an assem-
bly,, it was patronized by those ladies and
gentlemen well known in social circles. Mr..
f. r. Harrington officiated as floor director,
assisted by Messrs. j. n. Lord, j. A. Ken
DALI Reuben Townsend and Charles A.
Plummer. Chandler, as usual, furnished
his choicest music, while, in the intermis-
sion, the ladies Of the society provided most
delicious refreshments.

The managers of the Beaver Line have de-

They will put on the Lake Superior, Lake
Ontario and Lake Huron, all three swift and

was agent for this line last year, will again
officiate in the same capacity 1t is believed
that these steamers will secure fair share
of the trade. The Lake Superior left Liver

About 10 o'clock Saturday evening, as Mr..
James McGauflin was walking on Bracket
street, he was approached by three men, one
of whom struck him a violent blow on the
side of his head and then dragged him tc the
sidewalk. Upon regaining his feet, he was
attacked again, and by blows and kicks was
rendered insensible. When Mr.. McGlauflin
regained his senses, the rascals were gone,
taking with them his watch and small sum
of money
